| Flying With Diabetic Pump & Supplies
According to the TSA, you are permitted an additional carry on for your medications and pump supplies. I only had one carry on which was a back pack. I packed everything in my checked luggage except my camera, telephoto lens, medications, diabetic supplies and tickets. My pump didn't set off the alarm in Los Angeles and nobody even looked in my carry on. It went through the x-ray just fine. We were flying LAN, not an American carrier, so our total carry on per person could not exceed 18 pounds. We flew from Los Angeles to Buenos Aries then on to Ushuaia, Argentina where we took a ship to the Antarctic.
Flying back was just as easy. I think it is the additional stuff people put in their carry on that sets off the screeners. I never carry anything that might get thrown out. Also, my medications fill a gallon size bag and my pump supplies including extra syringes just in case my pump fails fills another gallon bag and it wasn't questioned either. I used a FRIO wallet for three vials of Novolog and carried that in an outside mesh pocket of my bag. That wasn't questioned.
Pack your shampoos, gels, etc., in your checked luggage and you won't have trouble going through security with your medications and diabetic supplies. I always tell the screener that there are diabetic supplies in the bag and it never gets searched. We travel by air a lot and never have any problems.  |
